We appreciate all of the help and support the CAHS alumni have given the PTA in the past. If you are willing to help support the PTA, please send us an email at cahs.pta@gmail.com.

New CAHS Announcements - November 30,2012

To all CAHS Parents:

We are enforcing the CCS District mandate that no outside food be brought into the schoolday other than what is provided by the school cafeteria and vending programs and what a student has for themselves in a packed lunch! Please do not send in any cupcakes, cakes or cookies for a child's birthday or other recognition. They will not be able to share and we would hate for the baked goodies to be confiscated!

This is in response to the State Law that is in effect, new this year. As we are becoming more aware of the childhood obesity epidemic and student food allergy issues, please help us transition to the new law. (Ohio House Bill 1)

Thank you for your cooperation!

Freshmen/Sophomore parents:

The PLAN and EXPLORE ( pre-ACT assessment) results are in!

Plan to attend, with your student if possible, a meeting on Tuesday, December 4, 6:00pm. You will receive your student's results and an explanation.

Junior Parents:

PSAT (pre-SAT) results are not yet in, but will be coming soon and will be explained to your student during English classes by Dr. Reid. Check in the next couple of weeks to see if they have received the information!
